Royal sources have characterized William's involvement at the forthcoming conference as taking on an important role in "global climate discussions".
Recent Engagements
The monarch and his heir, making a joint entrance in the state Bentley, were welcomed attendees such as environmentalists, scientists, climate change campaigners, diplomats and government officials.
This involvement included speaking in concert with French leader Macron of the French Republic and other international figures at the Ocean Finance Summit in Monaco during the current year.
Earthshot Awards Connection
The UN meeting will align with the William's personal Earthshot environmental awards, which will finish in the Brazilian city the day before he joins the COP summit on the sixth of November.
Last week the William described the prize competitors as "contemporary champions".
Royal Climate Legacy
The monarch has been a influential participant at previous climate summits, delivering the inaugural speech in the United Arab Emirates for the 28th Conference of Parties, including the reminder: "Our responsibility is to protect the world we inhabit".
"Throughout my life I've dedicated a large proportion of my life trying to alert people to the survival risks confronting humanity over planetary heating, climate change and species extinction," the King told delegates.
